HC Deb 31 October 1956 vol 558 c169W
105. Mr. J. Silverman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what grounds the representatives of the United Kingdom voted in favour of the French resolution on the future status of Togo-land, at the last meeting of the United Nations Trusteeship Council, in view of the objectives of the trusteeship system of the United Nations.
